Arooga's and the craft beer movement

If you've been to our downtown store, or to either of our stores in Camp Hill, York, Harrisburg on 22, you might notice that we're doing something a little different at Arooga's these days. We've always been known for our cold beer and liquor pitcher specials. But we've been watching the changes in the bar industry, and decided to take the opportunity to jump into the craft beer game. We all love beer. A lot. And we're excited to be able to bridge the gap between sports bars with the stereotypical cheap cold beer and the more diverse world of craft beer.

As you can see from this graphic, since Arooga's opened in 2008, the number of craft breweries in the US has dramatically increased! For good reason, too. The diversity of flavors and styles that are being produced by small American breweries is astonishing. We're thrilled to be able to feature beers from some of our favorites like Dogfish Head, Stone, Flying Dog, Victory, Rogue, Sam Adams, Weyerbacher, Troegs, and so many more.

We're also excited to be featuring a beer at our downtown location that is made right here in Harrisburg! Millbock Brewing makes a lot of great beer and we currently have their Richard Cranium Rye Ale on draft.

And if you haven't heard... Maryland's top rated brewery has made it's way to Central PA. We are now serving beer from Duclaw Brewing Company at our Downtown and York locations. You may not have had a chance to try their beer before, but now you do. Come check them out!

We also want to make it a little easier for you to try some of these beers out. During happy hour at all our stores, all craft beer drafts are $2 off! That means you can be drinking many of these beers for only $3.50. We also feature different craft beers in our daily specials as well! So make sure you check our website to see what specials we have lined up for your favorite Arooga's location!
